For CMC owners, its now a contest within a contest. Who is able to make it to week 6. And even then, its a TNF game at Seattle. My guess is he's not back until after the bye week.
It's like the Chubb survivors last year
Except in this case, we have to navigate through the Shanahanigans obstacle course along with the injury. Its a riddle wrapped up in an enigma. Is he even injured or is this some elaborate scheme to rest him for the playoffs, motivate Tatum Bell, push the Fed to lower interest rates, and alter the course of history. We can never know.

The latest I've heard is CMC may not be back until week 10 after the BYE, but others have chimed in saying there's no real timeline - it's whenever the tendonitis calms down. He could well spend the minimum on the IR and be back week 7.

With the acquisition cost + shrinking field, it's going to be difficult for owners of any combos of Puka, CMC, Kupp, Higins, Pacheco, Fergusen, KWIII, etc to survive. Not impossible, but 7 weeks of this contest is a long time. Guys like Higgins, KWIII, & Fergusen are expected back more short-term, but the longer term guys - yeah. Challenging for sure.

Normal FF leagues may be able to weather such a storm (as a Kupp/CMC/Higgins owner in 1 league I'm certainly hoping to)...but in this format even 1 major injury can be a killer as the field shrinks.

Plus the likelihood of other players on those teams getting dinged up - much of this contest is about attrition. Some years it hits harder, to bigger name/budget players.

Best of luck to those teams. It's gonna be a challenge.

27 unlucky owners with CMC and Pacheco....
3 of those teams also have Kupp....
Yeah - this is exactly what I was talking about above. I'd say those teams are donezo. Still a chance they're ok.

Hey I almost broke 200 this week with 0 from my TE (ferg/Otton) and no KWIII, so not impossible.
 
Officially nervous.
Roughly 5 points above the unofficial cut, with DvSmith chasing 3.6 and D/ST Eagles chasing 7.

Didn't think this years' entry had much of a shelf life, but thought I'd ride the bus a little longer than Week 2.

We'll see what tonight holds in store.
 
I was sweating my RB's with KWIII out but Singletary & Dobbins came through and I actually had a good week from everyone else scoring 182. Onward!
 
Tangent... what happened to the laugh emoji? Did we lose that from the board?

I will advance to week 3 but making it much further will be quite a feat with this RB group. I will need Cheddar Bob to twerk his way to gameday active status.

This topic surely misses the laugh reaction.

What will they take from us next?


Thanks, Obama.

Not so sure about Taysom Hill. He got injured near the end of the game and did not return. I hope it's not serious (it was called a chest injury), because I have him too, and I'm already down Njoku.

But kudos this week for my other two TEs, Hunter Henry 8 / 109 / 0 = 22.90 points, and George Kittle 7 / 76 / 1 = 24.10 points. Nice to get a flex score from a TE when you already have a TE out with injury.

Happy Ferguson reportedly back next week, to all those who celebrate. (All 1107 of us)
:wub:
I love the news, but I think it's too early to decide this, eh?
I said “reportedly”. That’s the latest update.
:shrug:
I'm one of those 1107, so yeah, I would love nothing more than to see Jake from State Farm back on the field.
Me too
#MeToo

Am I using that right?
You're asking a 60-year old dude!
 
Safely moving on at 173.4

TE came through with Bowers and Kittle putting up good scores.
WR all healthy and producing.

I some how managed to field a team that is not deep and also lacks superstars. However if I make the playoffs I can get an extra &100

UNOFFICIAL future Cut lines (a few ties pushed the number higher remaining this week and affected a few future weeks):

Start 11695
10% Week 1 Cut to Number – 10528
10% Week 2 cut to Number – 9476 now 9477
10% Week 3 cut to Number – 8529 now 8530
20% Week 4 cut to Number – 6824
20% Week 5 cut to Number – 5460
20% Week 6 cut to Number – 4368
20% Week 7 cut to Number – 3495
30% Week 8 cut to Number – 2447
30% Week 9 cut to Number – 1713
30% Week 10 cut to Number – 1200
30% Week 11 cut to Number – 840
30% Week 12 cut to Number – 588
40% Week 13 cut to Number – 353
40% Week 14 cut to Number – 212 (means the top 13 non-playoff teams this week win a prize)

Notes From Contest Rules:

- In weeks 1--14, the cut is based on scores from the current week only. Scores reset each week.

- Specifically, the cut will be determined as in the following example. Suppose it is week 7 and there are 2,394 entries at the beginning of the week. Because the cut percentage is 20% for that week, 2394 will be multiplied by 0.80 and the resulting number, if not an integer, will be rounded UP to the next greatest integer. In this case, 2394 * 0.8 = 1915.2. We round up to 1916. The entry with the 1916th-highest score, and all entries with an equal or greater score, will move to the next round.

- if fewer than 225 participants remain after week 14, then prizes will be awarded to eliminated participants according to highest score in week 14. If prizes are still unawarded after that, then highest score in week 13, and so on.
